Bryce Elder

Bryce Elder had a rough outing, allowing seven earned runs on seven hits and four walks while striking out four over 3 1/3 innings in Saturday's 11-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Fantasy Impact

This performance has certainly inflated his ERA to 5.28 and WHIP to 1.76 for the season, which are troubling indicators for fantasy managers. His strikeout rate remains low at 5.9 K/9, and a high BABIP of .348 suggests some bad luck, though not enough to ignore the underlying issues. Elder's control has been a concern, as evidenced by his 1.25 strikeout-to-walk ratio and today's four walks. Moving forward, fantasy managers should be wary of starting him in their lineups, especially against high-scoring teams.
